When I got it, it didn't run. I was also told the Tcase was fried. It sat for 2 years before I got it. I trailered it home, charged the battery, dumped some gas in the carb, and it fired right up. The Tcase WAS stuck when we winched it on the trailer, but all the bouncing on the way home must have freed it up somehow, because I had no problem putting it in 2hi, 4hi, or 4lo. It will take atleast 35" tires (thats what the previous owner had on it). I drove it up and down my driveway a few times, but thats about it. Stop on out, and take a look if ya want.

I'm not sure about 500. If your seriously thinkin about getting it (sounds like you are) send me a PM, and I'll get you my #, and we'll talk.

I don't know about "road worthyness", I haven't driven it to give a for sure or not. I might go take it for a ride later. As for "wheelable".... I don't see why not. The guy I bought it from said it was his wheelin toy. But he only had to take it about a half mile to where they wheeled at.
